How to convert KMB to KML

[BernieNowel31]

Hello,
I hope someone can help me, I wanted to migrate to Organic maps but I lost all my bookmarks in maps.me
Fortunately I have all the bookmarks in KMB format but I can't do anything with them.
Does anyone know how to convert them or explain step by step how to do it?
Thank you in advance

You can build and run kmb_to_kml converter in organicmaps repository, or send your kmb to me, I'll help. alex at organicmaps dot app

Interestingly, our converter does not work. Looks like the format of kmb files was changed recently by mapsme. You may try to manually export each bookmark list and immediately open it with Organic Maps.

Hello,
I'm trying to build and run kmb_to_kml to try to get my bookmarks back but I could only build the full organicmaps (kmb format doesn't show in import tab).
Can you guide me please?

tools/unix/build_omim.sh -d kmb_to_kml
../omim-build-debug/kmb_to_kml <path_to_kmb_file>

Thanks!
I get a Reader::SizeException: My file is probably not compatible.

Why can't you manually export these files (using Share) from mapsme?

In fact, initially I thought I'd lost my bookmarks in maps.me because the application was empty and putting the KMBs here didn't change anything :
\smartphone\internal memory\MapsWithMe\bookmarks

But today I realize that the location of the application has changed :
\smartphone\internal memory\Android\data\com.mapswithme.maps.pro\files\MapsWithMe\bookmarks

I can now find my bookmarks in maps.me and export them one by one.
Another question : Do you know if organic maps will be designed to sort folders alphabetically or otherwise containing bookmarks?
I've waited so long for this feature in maps.me (which still doesn't work properly).
